Peer support for advanced / metastatic cancer
Our Peer Support Volunteers have all experienced cancer and some volunteers are living with advanced/metastatic disease.
All of our volunteers will listen and give you time and space to talk through how you are feeling. Many women find this helps them to look after their wellbeing, maintain hope and manage the uncertainty of living with an advanced/metastatic cancer diagnosis.
Counterpart Peer Support Volunteers can also help you to find reliable information or direct you to services that provide practical help, medical advice or support.
Please note, we are a Victorian service and can provide peer support to women living or being treated in Victoria.
Finding your way with metastatic breast cancer
The Signpost resource was developed by researchers at Melbourne Uni, in partnership with cancer organisations and women living with metastatic breast cancer. See our Information for women with advanced/metastatic cancer page for more resources.
